Basic Definitions

Suppose a set of random variables indexed by a parameter

Tracking these variables with respect to the parameter constructs a process that is called Stochastic Process.

i.e. The mapping of outcomes to the real (complex) numbers changes with respect to index.

X (t , β )= (X 1(β), X 2(β), .. . , X n(β ), . ..)


Basic Definitions (cont’d)

A stochastic process x(t) is a rule for assigning

to every a function x(t, ).

ensemble of functions: Family of all functions a

random process generates



With fixed (zeta), we will have a

“time” function called sample path.

Are sample paths sufficient for

estimating stochastic properties of a

random process?

Sometimes stochastic properties of a

random process can be extracted just

from a single sample path. (When?)



With fixed “t”, we will have a random variable.

With fixed “t” and “zeta”, we will have a real (complex)

number



Example I

Brownian Motion

Motion of all particles (ensemble)

Motion of a specific particle (sample path)



Example II

Voltage of a generator with fixed frequency

Amplitude is a random variable

tAtV cos.,



Equality

Ensembles should be equal for each “beta” and “t”

Strict Sense Stationary (SSS)

Statistical properties are invariant to shift of time

origin

First order properties should be independent of “t”

or

difference of times or

Stationary Processes (cont’d)

Wide Sense Stationary (WSS)

Mean is constant

Autocorrelation depends on the difference of times
